Signs You Have Pigeons

Pigeons are easy to spot, and the mess usually shows up before the nest does.

  • Cooing or scratching on the roof, in the eaves or in the attic
  • White droppings on balconies, decks, windowsills, cars and signs
  • Birds sitting in the same spot day after day
  • Straw, twigs and feathers in gutters, vents and corners
  • A nest tucked under solar panels or in a covered area
  • Droppings piling up on pipes, equipment and loading areas

Where Do Pigeons Roost and Nest?

They look for a dry, sheltered ledge that’s hard to reach.

  • Under and between solar panels
  • Balconies, porches and covered decks
  • Gutters, eaves and soffits
  • Roof corners, ledges and chimneys
  • Attics through gaps in the roofline
  • Business signs, parkades and loading docks

Why Do I Have Pigeons?

Pigeons stay where a safe nest spot and an easy meal are close together.

  • Sheltered ledges. Dry, shaded spots protected from wind and rain.
  • Easy food. Spilled seed, garbage, patio scraps and people feeding them.
  • Warmth. Rooftops and gaps near vents hold heat in cold weather.
  • They keep coming back. Pigeons can raise several broods a year, so a nest left in place often turns into a bigger flock.

Pigeons Under Solar Panels

This is one of the most common calls we get. The gap between a solar panel and the roof is warm, shaded, and protected, which is exactly what pigeons want.

  • Nests and droppings build up under the panels.
  • Droppings and nest material can be hard to reach and clean.
  • A panel bird guard (mesh) along the edge stops them getting back under, but only if it’s fitted tightly with no gaps.

Are Pigeons Harmful?

They’re a bigger issue than most people think, especially when the droppings pile up.

  • Health: Droppings can carry bacteria and fungi. Wear gloves and a mask, and don’t dry-sweep.
  • Damage: Droppings can stain and corrode surfaces, and nests can clog gutters and vents.
  • Mess and noise: Constant cooing and droppings on balconies and entrances.
  • Mites: Nests can carry bird mites that spread into the home.

Our Pigeon Control Solutions

There’s no single fix, since the right method depends on where the birds are.

  • Nest removal and cleanup of droppings and nesting material
  • Bird spikes for ledges, signs and windowsills
  • Bird netting for balconies, parkades, loading areas and large openings
  • Solar panel bird guard around the edges of panels
  • Mesh and screening for gutters, eaves and soffits

Our Pigeon Control Process

  1. Inspect. We find where they roost, nest and enter, and check for eggs or chicks.
  2. Remove and clean. We safely remove nests and clean up droppings.
  3. Proof. We install the right deterrent for your space so they can’t return.
  4. Follow up. If pigeons get back in, we return. See our pest control guarantee.

How Much Does Pigeon Control Cost?

Pricing depends on the number of birds, how high and how big the area is, how much cleanup is needed and which proofing you choose, such as spikes, netting or solar panel guards. Our pest control costs page explains what affects the price. We quote after we see the site, and it’s free. We serve Edmonton, Calgary and Red Deer.

FAQs About Major Pest Control Services

How do I get rid of pigeons on my roof or under solar panels?

Remove the nest, clean the droppings, and then block access. Under solar panels, a tight-fitting bird guard along the edge works best. On ledges, spikes can help. DIY can be risky on a roof, so most people hire a professional.

Are pigeon droppings dangerous?

They can be. Dried droppings can carry fungi and bacteria that you can breathe in. Wear gloves and a mask, wet the area before cleaning and never dry-sweep. For large buildups or hard-to-reach spots, professional cleanup is safer.

Why won't pigeons leave my balcony?

It’s usually a sheltered ledge where they feel safe. Reflective streamers and a few spikes often don’t work because pigeons get used to them. Netting or screening that fully blocks the space is the most reliable fix.

Do you clean up pigeon droppings and nests?

Yes. We remove nests and droppings as part of the job, then install proofing so the mess doesn’t return. This is common on solar panels, balconies and rooflines.

Will pigeons come back after removal?

They can if the spot stays open, because pigeons return to places that worked before. Proofing such as netting, spikes or panel guard closes the spot for good. If they get through our work, we come back.
